• Bill Atkins. Who knew there was a museum dedicated to John Wayne in Bowie? Atkins, a commercial-real-estate agent, was a Marine at Camp Pendelton when Wayne shot Flying Leathernecks there, and he’s emerged as one of the country’s biggest Wayne fans, running the museum out of his office. So if the remake of True Grit didn’t do it for you, there’s a shrine for you to pay your respects within driving distance.

• Ronald Machen. The US Attorney just indicted 13 gang members from DC and Maryland—bringing an end, we hope, to a spate of deadly shootings.

We’ll be curious to see how the case plays out—and whether this will deal a real blow to violent crime in Washington or just stop one feud.
